If you are working as an SAP Consultant and Developer like me, but you're not having a instance of a new NetWeaver to test new technologies (UI5/Fiori), I am recommending the Developer Edition. SAP provides us at Developer Trials and Downloads a free NetWeaver installation with ABAP stack.
I bought ABAP objects book for miniSAP. The error log which i get during the installation. And Settings Administrator Start. Menu Programs Mini SAP Basis. Starting with what if often referred to as 'Mini SAP' the trial systems were fairly easy to install but as the commercial SAP systems have grown in complexity so too have the trial systems.
In their own Blog SAP is recommending a SUSE installation as OS, but it is also working on my Ubuntu powered machine. I am running my own physical server, but if you are not it is no problem to install the NetWeaver in a virtual machine e.g. Oracles VirtualBox.
Requirements
- Linux 64 bit
- 6 GB RAM (in my case 4GB have been sufficient)
- 100 GB of disk space
Installation
Before we are starting with the proper installation, we have to install the C shell and UUID to create unique table keys.
After installing the necessary components, the script which was included in the download has to be made executable and started.
The script will ask you to accept the license agreement and to enter a password for the OS users used by the SAP instance. Now we are able to get a good cup of coffee because the installation takes a while.
To start the instance we have to change to the created user npladm and execute the start script.
Should everything have gone without problems the NetWeaver instance is already reachable via SAP GUI. If not, I am recommending to check the log files with SAP Management Console which is accessible through the browser of your choice with < hostname >:50013.
To activate the installation a license key is necessary, which could be ordered for free here. How to activate the system could be read in the readme.html which comes with the download.
useful information
If the start script is running without an error, but the instance is not reachable it could be possible that in /etc/hosts the hostname is assigned to the ip address 127.0.0.1. You have to assign your server a fix ip address and adjust the hosts file /etc/hosts.
I am a person who strictly separates OS and data to different HDDs. To install the NetWeaver I have first tried symlinks but here it comes to problems, so I have decided to adjust the fstab
and add your folders as mount points
After a reboot you should be able to access your folders from root directory.
Common Mini-SAP Question and AnswersWhat's the password for user SAP* in minisap?
No matter if minisap or maxisap - the default password for user SAP* is 'pass' when you do your client copy to a newly created client.
07061992 is the hard coded password for SAP* in client 000 after your system install.
Licensing Procedure for the Mini SAP System
Based on theABAP Objects Reference Book
For extending your license key, execute saplicense.exe , and follow the instructions in the documentation 'Installing the SAP License' that you find on CD1 in the file mini_doc.htm.
Once you have sent us your hardware key, we will send you a mail with a new license key and the new expiration date.

Note for Windows XP
The installation of Web AS 6.10 has been successfully tested using FAT32-formatted drives under Windows XP.
Should you encounter problems during the installation, we recommend converting the hard drive to the Microsoft-recommended NTFS format, which takes only a few minutes and which you can do at the touch of a button under Windows XP.
The full name of the directory where the SAP DB of the Web AS is installed, ..sapdbWA1, must not exceed 50 characters.
Please note that under Windows XP, the name of the directory specified prior to installation can be implicitly supplemented by user-specific path information.
Installation on Windows NT
Windows NT is no longer supported in Version 6.10 and later.
Error message at logon: “No Logon possible” (no hw ID received by mssg server)
The usual cause for this error is that system file ..system32..etcservices already contains an entry for port 3600 during installation. If so, mark the entry with “#” to deactivate it.
After installation, the entry must appear as follows:
sapmsWA13600/tcp
Creating a new development class
Transaction SE80 now has an “Edit Object” button. You can use it to create a new development class. The name must start with Y or Z.
In Version 6.10 and later, the term “development class” has been replaced with “package”.

Creating your own programs
Please note: The name has to start with Y or Z.
Note on global exception classes
Page 343 of the book specifies the prefix for exception classes as “CX_”. On the Mini Web AS, the customer namespace ZCX_ or YCX_ has to be used.
Unfortunately, the Basis version of the Mini Web AS contains an error that prevents the Class Builder from accepting these names.
Runtime error under DOKTL
This error occurs only when you run the system on a PC without a network connection. To solve this problem, install the MS Loopback Adapter as described on the first CD.
